These men stay in office til 70, 80, 90 even 100 years olde, proof positive that the voters are brainwashed, programmed and....VERY STUPID...
"Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas,.......at 89, the oldest member of the House of Representatives,....... won a GOP primary battle Tuesday to tea party challenger Steve Clark".
Ralph Hall, D-Rockwall(back in the D-days here), was a rep when I was a kid; for freak's sake. Turd doesn't have the decency to die or go away. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I paid a buncha money, got all the way through college, and I never heard Mencken's name breathed once.
Elitist... snicker
Worked my way through. I was employed all the way and paid the bill - unlike some elitists. It is that lust for power, position and pelf that drives them.
Wouldnt you rather be of the elite than just one of the unwashed rubes like me????
I'm with you, randge, but then most all I knew thought that was the only way to obtain a higher education.
I did read Mencken though in High School. Some of my teachers were pretty cool.m ;] I read Silas Marner, forced, helped me a great deal later in life. Right...

No. You can call me Rube Jr. When one admits to being a Rube, there is nothing more they can turn their tongues to, that inflicts pain.
